CUCUMBER-FR- CONCOMBRE 
Impi o\ 
One ounce will plant about 50 hills. 
CULTURE — Can be easily raised in the open ground, and, when only a few are 
required, had better be grown in hills, 5 feet apart. Make a trench about 18 inch ea 
deep ana 3 feet in diameter, and fill up with horse dung, tramping same down firmly, 
and then cover over with 9 inches of noh, light soil, so that over the manure the grouna 
is slightly raised, and in a few days sow 4 or 5 seeds on each " hill," ultimately leaving 
the tliree strongest plants. It is very important that the plants should suffer no check 
from sowing to fruiting, hence watering must bo carefxilly attended to.
